Synopsis
A charming, thoroughly engrossing novel that s the next best thing to being there. People Magazine
Hopewell Cottage Little Lost Island, Maine. Old, pretty cottage to rent on a small island. Springwater, blueberries, sea glass. August.
So reads an ad on Lottie Wilkes and Rose Arbuthnot s children s preschool bulletin board.
When the mothers arrive on the island, they are transformed by the salt air; the breathtaking views; the long, lazy days; and the happy routine of lobster, corn, and cocktails on the wraparound porch. By the time of the late-August blue moon, real life and its complications have finally fallen far, far away. For on this idyllic island they gradually begin to open up: to one another and to the possibilities of lives quite different from the ones they ve been leading. Change can t be that hard, can it?
With a cast of endearingly imperfect characters including indie movie star Caroline Dester and an elderly Beverly Fisher, who is recovering from heartbreaking loss and set against the beauty of a gorgeous New England summer,
Enchanted August is a sparkling summer debut that brilliantly updates the beloved classic
The Enchanted April in a novel of love and reawakening that is simply irresistible.
